Report  of  the  Directors  to  the  Memoers  ijf  The 
American  Society  for  the  Extension  of  University 
Teaching  on  Ten  Years'  Work  in  the  Period 
from  1890  to  1900 

In  18/8,  Sidney  Lanier,  writing  on  the  subject  of  lectur- 
ing" said:  "During  my  studies  for  the  last  six  or  eight 
months,  a  thought  which  was  at  first  vague,  has  slowly  crys- 
tallized into  a  purpose  of  quite  decisive  aim.  The  lectures 
which  I  was  invited  to  deliver  last  winter  before  a  private 
class,  met  with  such  an  enthusiastic  reception  as  to  set  me 
thinking  very  seriously  of  the  evident  delight  with  which 
grown  people  found  themselves  receiving  systematic  instruc- 
tion in  a  definite  study.  The  fault  of  the  lecture  system  as 
at  present  conducted — a  fault  which  must  finally  prove  fatal 
to  it —  is  that  it  is  too  fragmentary,  and  presents  too  frag- 
mentary a  mass  of  facts  before  the  hearers.  Now  if  a 
scheme  of  lectures  should  be  arranged  which  would  amount 
to  the  systematic  presentation  of  a  given  subject,  then  the 
audience  would  receive  substantial  benefit,  and  would  carry 
away  some  genuine  possession  at  the  end  of  the  course. 
This  stage  of  the  investigation  put  me  to  thinking  of 
schools  for  grown  people.  Men  and  women  leave  college 
nowadays  just  at  the  time  when  they  are  really  prepared  to 
study  with  effect." 

The  thought  of  Sidney  Lanier  had  already  found 
expression  in  England  through  the  plans  and  activities  of 
the  Cambridge  and  London  Societies  for  the  Extension  of 
University  Teaching.  They  were  founded  respectively  in 
1873  and  1876.  Similar  work  was  begun  by  the  LTniversity 
of  Oxford  in  1878,  and  made  effective  in  1885  through  the 
impulse  given  by  the  hand  of  Mr.  Michael  E.  Sadler. 

In  1890  Professor  Richard  G.  Moulton  came  to  Philadel- 
phia, informed  as  to  all  that  had  been  done  in  England  and 
inspired  by  a  consciousness  of  the  potential  force  contained 
in  the  new  educational  idea.  The  response  to  the  appeal 
contained  in  his  lectures  was  prompt  and  generous.  The 
American  Society  was  founded,  with  Dr.  William  Pepper 
as  its  first  President.  Many  of  those  who  to-day  are  firm  sup- 
porters of  the  Society  were  among  its  first  members ;  there 
are  many  who,  from  the  beginning  until  now,  have  never 
failed  in  loyalty  or  in  direct  assistance  when  their  aid  was 
needed.  Mr.  Frederick  B.  Miles  has  served  uninterruptedly

T  •.:  {m'thib  ojiftre  pCTreasurer.  The  aim  of  University  Extension 
as  then*. officially  stated  by  the  English  Societies  was  this: 
"To  attempt  to  solve  the  problem  of  how  much  of  what  the 
Universities  do  for  their  own  students  can  be  done  for 
people  unable  to  go  to  the  Universities." 

This  idea  is  a  noble  one,  and  it  awakened  the  enthu- 
siasm that  looks  for  great  and  immediate  results  as  well  as 
that  which  nerves  to  prolonged  and  steady  effort.  There 
came  a  time  when  zeal  of  the  first  sort  flagged  a  little,  but 
there  was  enough  of  the  staying  kind  to  sustain,  until  results 
that  were  necessarily  slow  of  growth  began  at  last  to  be 
*  apparent. 

To  instruct  people  who  are  not  obliged  to  go  to  school, 
it  is  necessary  to  awaken  a  desire  to  learn.  To  do  this  was 
a  large  part  of  the  Society's  work  in  its  early  years.  It  had 
to  send  out  its  missionaries  and  interest  before  it  taught. 
The  mission  work  was  well  done :  the  idea  of  University 
Extension  found  lodgment  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  In 
some  places  it  has  had  a  permanent  and  important  influ- 
ence ;  in  others  it  has  shown  no  real  vitality.  Nothing  comes 
out  of  University  Extension  unless  a  great  deal  is  put  into 
it;  the  desire  to  give,  of  the  best,  should  be  always  some- 
what more  intense  than  the  wish  to  receive. 

As  aids,  in  bringing  its  purposes  before  people,  the 
Society  published  a  magazine  called  "University  Exten- 
sion," and  a  paper,  "The  Bulletin."  They  were  widely  dis- 
tributed and  at  first  they  were  doubtless  read ;  but  the  time 
came  when  themes  connected  with  University  Extension  had 
lost  their  freshness,  or  the  initial  interest  in  a  new  subject  had 
waned.  At  all  events  these  journals  were  no  longer  read.  Then 
an  attempt  was  made  to  have  a  paper  of  more  general 
interest — one  that  would  supplement  the  Society's  teaching 
by  lecturers.  "The  Citizen"  was  launched  in  1895.  It 
seemed  to  have  the  respect  of  persons  whose  good  opinion 
was  valuable,  when  they  were  brought  to  read  it,  but  its 
prestige  was  not  sufficient  for  its  purpose ;  we  lacked  the 
resources  to  conduct  the  paper  as  a  commercial  enterprise, 
and  it  made  no  headway  in  competition  with  magazines 
that  must  be  made  to  pay,  and  therefore  made  attractive 
to  the  casual  reader.  Since  August,  1898,  the  Society  has 
had  no  periodical  publication. 

There  have  been  published,  however,  from  the  begin- 


ning,  the  syllabi  of  the  lecture  courses.  The  syllabi  are 
constantly  improving  in  respect  to  fullness,  and  care  in 
preparation.  They  now  form  a  large  collection  of  outlines 
for  study  and  reading  and  cover  a  wide  field. 

In  a  review  of  the  Society's  work,  mention  should  be 
made  of  the  Summer  Meetings.  Five  have  been  held — in 
the  years  1893-1897.  Their  purpose  was  to  afford  special 
opportunities  for  close  and  continuous  study  on  the  part  of 
University  Extension  students,  and  teachers;  to  bring 
together  the  people  of  the  various  Centres  and  to  stimulate 
the  desire  for  the  best  that  University  Extension  had  to 
offer. 

In  England,  for  many  years,  such  meetings  have  been 
held  with  success  at  Oxford  and  Cambridge,  under  the 
auspices  of  those  great  Universities,  and  with  the  use  of 
their  grounds  and  buildings.  The  Summer  School  of  Har- 
vard University  is  an  instance  in  this  country  of  somewhat 
similar  work  well  done.  The  University  of  Pennsylvania 
liberally  put  at  the  disposition  of  the  Society  accommo- 
dations for  its  meetings,  and  for  five  years  these  gatherings 
took  place  in  July. 

Here  again  the  serious  purposes  of  the  Society  inter- 
fered possibly  with  an  apparent  success.  There  was  little 
or  no  provision  for  those  who  wanted  entertainment  rather 
than  teaching;  and  we  know  that  the  thirst  for  learning 
must  be  strong  to  induce  people  to  study  hard  in  Philadel- 
phia for  four  weeks  in  July. 

There  was  an  average  of  175  students  at  these  meet- 
ings. The  average  yearly  cost  was  $3,273.79;  sixty-one 
per  cent,  being  paid  by  the  students.  The  yearly  deficit 
to  be  met  by  the  Society  was  between  $1,200  and  $1,300. 

The  amount  of  labor  and  the  expense  entailed  by  the 
Summer  Meetings  were  quite  out  of  proportion  to  the 
physical  powers  of  the  Society's  staff  and  to  the  money  at 
command.  It  was  found  that  the  meetings  were  not  so 
much  for  our  own  students  as  for  strangers  from  a  dis- 
tance who  did  not  know  Philadelphia  in  July.  There  have 
been  no  Summer  Meetings  since  1897.  They  were  under- 
taken in  sincerity  and  worked  at  with  devotion  until  it 
seemed  evident  that  the  effort  and  money  expended  could  be 
better  applied  to  the  distinctive  work  of  the  Society,  leav- 
ing summer  schools  for  cooler  places.  Nevertheless  the 


Summer  Meetings  brought  to  Philadelphia,  as  students  and 
teachers,  many  influential  persons  who  went  away  with  a 
respect  for  University  Extension  that  they  had  perhaps 
refused  to  it,  as  seen  from  farther  off. 

It  will  be  remembered  that  the  University  Lecture 
Association,  beginning  in  1887,  gave  for  a  few  years  a  large 
number  of  afternoon  lectures.  When  the  Association  was 
dissolved,  in  1895,  your  Society  undertook  to  have  each 
season  two  afternoon  courses,  carrying  out  the  plan  of  the 
Association,  although  modified  by  making  the  number  of 
courses  fewer  and  of  a  character  to  command  attention. 
This  plan  has  worked  well.  These  are  the  only  lectures 
given  directly  by  the  General  Society  instead  of  through 
the  action  of  its  local  Centres.  The  lectures  of  one  of  .these 
courses,  given  in  Philadelphia  in  the  winter  of  1898-99,  have 
been  published  by  Houghton,  Mifflin  and  Co.,  in  a  volume 
entitled  "Counsel  Upon  the  Reading  of  Books." 

No  aspect  of  the  life  of  your  Society  is  more  significant 
and  gratifying  than  the  relation  to  it  of  its  Centres  and  the 
co-operation  of  those  who  manage  the  local  bodies.  Unpaid, 
often  at  the  expense  of  their  own  pockets,  upwards  of  five 
thousand  people  have  joined  in  our  efforts,  working  hard 
with  their  neighbors,  to  arrange  for  lecture  courses ;  to 
find  meeting  places  ;  to  sell  tickets ;  to  pay  deficits ;  and  per- 
severing, until  the  demand  created  gathered  strength  enough 
to  make  good  Centres. 

Sometimes  the  General  Society  has  been  able  to  help 
Centres  over  hard  places  by  a  special  lecture  or  by  aid  in 
money.  On  the  other  hand  Centres  that  have  prospered, 
and  sometimes  those  that  have  known  trouble,  have  contrib- 
uted liberally  to  the  General  Society. 

In  New  Jersey  the  Centres  have  an  association.  Their 
representatives  meet  yearly  for  consultation  and  discussion. 
Occasionally  there  are  meetings  of  a  more  general  character 
including  delegates  from  all  the  Centres  within  reach  of 
Philadelphia. 

As  the  Society  has  grown  older  we  have  come  to  know 
better  its  field  and  its  purposes.  Nothing  haunts  the  laborer 
in  our  vineyard  more  persistently  than  the  question  :  "Does 
University  Extension  reach  the  people  it  was  intended  for?" 
\Ye  should  like  to  believe  that  our  answer  will  be  final,  but 
we  know  better. 


I'niversity  Extension  is  meant  for  those  for  whom 
religion  is  intended  :  for  those  for  whom  life,  liberty,  and  the 
pursuit  of  happiness  is  intended.  It  is  meant  to  help  the 
ignorant  who  desire  knowledge — that  they  may  learn 
wisely  ;  to  reveal  to  the  half  educated  the  insufficiency  of 
their  knowledge ;  to  rouse  intellectual  sluggards ;  to  stimu- 
late those  who  are  in  the  right  way;  to  bring  questioning 
to  the  hearts  of  the  self-satisfied.  There  is  no  class  for 
which  University  Extension  is  not  intended  nor  to  which 
it  has  not  ministered.  There  have  been  courses,  not  a  few 
but  many,  to  audiences  made  up  entirely  of  the  very  poor ; 
of  the  poor ;  of  the  poor  and  of  those  who  are  not  rich  ;  of 
these  and  of  the  well-to-do ;  of  the  ignorant  but  eager;  of  the 
cultivated  but  not  learned  ;  of  teachers ;  we  might  almost 
suv — having  in  mind  the  Summer  Meetings — of  scholars: 
finally,  of  people  of  all  conditions  who  have  some  leisure 
for  study  or  reading  and  look  to  your  lecturers  for  sugges- 
tions and  leading. 

If  University  Extension  is  intended  for  so  many, 
the  number  of  those  who  have  profited  by  it  should  be 
great.  We  find  this  to  be  so.  The  average  number  of  peo- 
ple each  year  who  have  attended  our  courses  is  a  little  more  than 
18,000.  The  total  course  attendance  for  ten  years  amounts 
to  180,755,  which  is  equivalent  to  an  aggregate  attendance 
of  1,084,530.  The  attendance  has  been  larger  in  the  last 
two  years  than  at  any  previous  time.  In  these  years  there 
has  been  an  average  attendance  of  243  people  for  each 
lecture.  There  were  given  in  the  two  years  1,056  lectures. 
Last  year  the  average  attendance  at  the  classes  after  the 
lectures  was  149,  or  sixty-two  per  cent,  of  the  audiences. 
These  results  were  accomplished  at  an  expense  to  the 
( leneral  Society  in  1900  of  a  little  more  than  $6,000. 

If  it  is  assumed  that  the  teaching  was  better  than  the 
average  of  University  teaching — and  this  may  be  maintained — 
it  can  be  said  that  your  Society  is  a  People's  University, 
teaching  where  it  is  convenient  for  the  people  to  get 
together,  in  hours  not  given  to  labor.  The  teaching  is  often 
intermittent  and  sometimes  discursive.  It  is  addressed  to 
the  many  and  it  can  not  always  meet  special  needs,  but  it 
is  earnest,  systematic,  and  painstaking.  It  must  interest 
or  it  can  not  be  given.  What  the  sum  of  the  influence  is  it 
is  hard  to  say,  but  considering  the  maturity  and  the  num- 


bers  of  those  who  listen,  who  read  as  a  consequence,  and  to 
reading  add  thinking,  the  influence  is  likely  rather  to  be 
underestimated  than  appraised  too  highly. 

In  looking  back  over  ten  years  wre  find  two  results  of 
experience  that  are  worth  mention.  First,  it  is  found  that 
the  best  results  are  attained  in  Centres  that  have  a  sustained 
activity;  that  attempt  to  have  some  relation  between  the 
courses  given,  and  incline  rather  to  intensive  than  to  dis- 
cursive study.  The  results  are  educationally  better,  and  it 
is  easier  to  pay  expenses  in  these  Centres  than  in  those 
demanding  too  much  variety.  Secondly,  it  is  all  important 
that  lecturers  should  be  up  to  the  work — in  knowledge  of 
their  subjects;  in  enthusiasm  for  teaching;  in  the  care  taken 
in  preparation;  in  the  gift  of  presentation,  and  in  personal 
character. 

Few  things  are  more  difficult  to  do  effectively  than 
University  Extension  teaching;  it  is  hard  enough  to  do  it 
well  when  it  is  made  a  vocation :  the  men  are  few  who  can 
succeed,  taking  it  up  as  an  avocation.  One  of  the  greatest 
difficulties  your  directors  have  met  is  in  finding  competent 
men.  The  number  of  those  who  are  willing  to  try  is 
unlimited ;  those  who  can  reasonably  be  expected  to  do  well, 
and  are  willing  to  put  their  hearts  and  souls  into  the  work, 
are  few,  and  hard  to  find.  How  far  we  have  succeeded  in 
this  direction  we  must  leave  to  your  judgment,  referring 
you  to  the  list  of  lecturers.  We  think,  however,  that  as 
the  difficulties  of  our  task  have  become  more  apparent  there 
has  been  a  corresponding  effort  to  overcome  them ;  that 
with  higher  ideals  concerning  the  way  the  work  should  be 
done  it  has  been  better  done ;  that  it  has  gained  rather  than 
lost  ground  in  the  estimation  of  the  community  and  of 
educators. 

The  total  cost  of  the  Society's  work  for  ten  years  has 
been  $275,000;  of  this  $183,000  has  been  earned  and  $92,000 
has  been  given.  There  have  been  over  five  thousand  lec- 
tures. The  Centres  have  found,  in  addition  to  the  $183,000 
received  from  them  by  the  General  Society,  about  $55,000 
for  local  expenses.  The  total  expense,  therefore,  has  been 
$330,000.  Of  this  amount  $238,000  has  been  paid  by  the 
people  of  the  Centres ;  $22,000  by  members  of  the  General 
Society  contributing  $5.00  each,  and  $70,000  by  guarantors 
and  those  making  special  contributions.  The  total  number  of 


contributors  has  been  1,722  and  the  average  of  subscriptions, 
above  $5.00,  has  been  $150  a  year. 

Has  not  the  time  come  for  the  endowment  of  the 
Society,  that  its  future  may  be  assured,  that  it  may  have  the 
means  of  assuring  men  competent  for  University  Extension 
lecturing  that  they  will  find  in  it  a  career  that  is  neither 
precarious  nor  unrewarded? 

As  for  the  fruits  of  the  first  ten  years  of  your  Society's 
work,  besides  the  direct  results  already  mentioned,  we  know 
of  the  establishment  of  libraries ;  the  renewed  use  of  libraries 
that  had  been  almost  forgotten ;  a  demand  for  travelling 
libraries ;  the  more  intelligent  reading  of  books ;  the  use 
of  books  of  the  better  sort;  the  introduction  of  new 
and  vital  interests,  especially  in  small  communities ; 
improvement  in  the  character  of  school  teaching;  higher 
standards  for  public  lectures ;  the  creation  of  new  ideals  in 
literature  and  art,  and  everywhere,  the  stimulation  of  indi- 
viduals to  better  conceptions  of  the  pleasure  of  life. 

A  well-known  citizen  of  Philadelphia,  one  familiar  with 
University  Extension  but  not  connected  with  its  administra- 
tion, recently  expressed  publicly  the  following  opinion  :  "The 
American  Society  for  the  Extension  of  University  Teaching, 
which  has  now  been  at  work  for  ten  years,  has  not  only  suc- 
ceeded in  doing  more  than  any  one  agency  in  revolution- 
izing the  reading  habits  of  Philadelphia,  but  it  has  created 
a  solid,  organized  group  of  audiences,  habituated  to  study, 
anxious  to  learn,  interested  in  the  intellectual  development 
not  only  of  themselves  but  of  the  city,  which  constitutes  a 
constituency  and  clientele  such  as  does  not  exist  in  any 
other  American  city,  and  which  is  to-day  one  of  the  most 
useful  agencies  for  promoting  the  solidarity  of  the  intel- 
lectual life  of  Philadelphia." 

If  this  statement  is  true — and,  if  it  can  be  said  of  the 
work  in  Philadelphia,  it  is  also  true,  to  a  considerable  extent 
of  the  same  influence  in  other  places — then  your  Society  has 
justified  its  being  and  has  become  a  social  force  of  the 
first  importance. 

The  tables,  charts  and  lists,  prepared  by  the  Secretary 
of  the  Society,  and  printed  with  this  report,  deserve  the 
careful  attention  of  the  members  of  the  Society  and  of 
others  interested  in  its  methods  of  education.

Cost 

Statement  by  years  showing  the  total  expenditures  for 
University  Extension  passing  through  the  hands  of  the 
Society,  all  subscriptions  and  earnings,  and  the  percentage 
of  expenditures  earned.  The  total  expenditures  would  be 
increased  about  twenty  per  cent,  if  the  payments  of  Centres 
not  passing  through  the  hands  of  the  Society  were  added. 
This  would  increase  the  percentage  of  earnings  considerably. 
For  example  the  total  expenditures  for  1900  would  be  about 
$26,000,  the  amount  earned  $20,800,  the  amount  subscribed 
$6,260  and  the  percentage  of  expenses  earned  eighty.
